I checked with You First and the nice lady who I spoke to said there was no way BA would take the luggage from Cape AIr direct.
But doesn't this remain a decision for Cape Air rather than for BA? The debate in this thread is whether, when you arrive at a BA desk with your bags, BA will through-check them or not - and that is the point on which there has been a change of policy. Not having a go at you, but endless posts saying "AA through-checked my bags last week" or "QR through-checked my bags last week" doesn't seem to illuminate very much about what BA might or might not do.

Having said, that the other oddity about this one is that 9K doesn't seem to have a baggage interline agreement with BA. Unless that position has recently changed, I wonder whether they were lucky in any event in getting through-checks by 9K in the past?
